a single-arm, open, exploratory clinical study of pemigatinib in the treatment of her2-negative advanced breast cancer patients with fgfr alterations

Conditions: Breast Cancer

Summary: this study is a prospective single-arm phase ii clinical study. her2-negative advanced breast cancer patients with fgfr 1-3 alterations who have failed standard therapy will be enrolled in this study once they have signed the informed consent form (icf) and been identified as eligible in screening. the patients will receive 13.5 mg of pemigatinib once a day (qd) orally following a 2-week administration/1-week interruption regimen. they will be dosed until disease progression or intolerable toxicity. during treatment, clinical tumor imaging evaluation will be performed according to recist v1.1 every 6 weeks (± 7 days) and then every 12 weeks (± 7 days) after week 48. safety will be assessed according to nci-ctcae 5.0.

② serum calcium exceeds the normal range, or the calcium concentration corrected for serum albumin exceeds the normal range when serum albumin exceeds the normal range; ③ potassium level \< lower limit of normal (lln); potassium levels can be corrected by supplements at screening. 9. with known history of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection or confirmed with positive immune test results; 10. presence of severe infection in the active phase or with poor clinical control; 11. pleural effusion, ascites, or pericardial effusion with obvious clinical symptoms that require drainage; 12. acute or chronic active hepatitis b or c infection; hepatitis b virus (hbv) dna \> 2000 iu/ml or 104 copies/ml;

14. with ecg changes or medical history considered clinically significant by the investigator; qtcf interval \> 480 ms at screening; for subjects with intraventricular conduction block (qrs interval \> 120 ms), jtc interval can be used instead of qtc interval (in such cases, jtc must be ≤ 340 ms); 15. with uncontrolled hypertension (systolic pressure \> 160 mmhg or diastolic pressure \> 100 mmhg) after the optimal medical treatment, or a history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy;
